GCSE Triple Science Grading


Students will be awarded 3 separate science GCSEs – Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The marks from both exam papers (e.g. biology) are added up to give a mark out of 200.


This score out of 200 generates the final grade.<br>

GCSE Triple Science Grading

What is Sparx Science? Sparx Science provides personalised homework that aids retention and recall.
Teachers will set topics that are coming up in the first mock series, in November.
Sometimes science questions may challenge students, however where this is the case Sparx provides unique support to fill knowledge gaps or guide them through application of scientific ideas.<br>

How can you help? Provide a quiet space for your child to focus on their homework, minimising distractions where possible.
Encourage your child to start their homework early so they can get support before the deadline if they are stuck.
Sparx Science will automatically adjust the level of questions based on your child’s answers, please try not to answer the questions for them, instead ensure they are carefully reading the support and using this information to answer the questions.<br>

Key details Students log in at app.sparx-learning.com. They will need to find their school and log in using their Sparx Maths details.

Homework will be handed out on Tuesday every week, and collected on Monday

Each Sparx Science homework should take 1 hour.<br>

After School Science Revision Classes

Every Monday 3pm-4pm starting this Monday 22nd September.<br>
